A piston-cylinder device contains 0.5 m3 air at 100 kPa and 1000 K. Because the outside is cooler (at 300 K), the hot air starts losing heat to the surroundings and the volume of air starts decreasing. Over a certain period of time the volume is observed to shrink by 50%. The final temperature is lower or higher? Determine the boundary work transfer (absolute value). in KJ was W positive and Q negative? or what?

Problem 1 A piston-cylinder system contains a paddle stirrer (a paddle with blades that can stir the contents of the cylinder). The cylinder contains a gas that is initially at 150 kPa and occupies a volume of 0.196 m3 . The piston is unrestrained and has a cross-sectional area of 0.196 m2 . 20 kJ of electrical energy is supplied to the paddle stirrer, resulting in the piston moving up by 0.2 m. During this process, 5.27 kJ of heat...
